Here's a couple of real LOW resolution scans of photos I took from up on the coaling tower. It's an #844 excursion about 1961. I'm sure that there is absolutely NOTHING left there, except track and a road crossing.

Not much has changed in this shot, other than the trackside buildings are no longer there, and the Hitching Post Inn was burned to the ground. Even the Super 8 is still the same. Nice shots guys, always enjoy looking at Howard's images.
